Steph Curry is great at basketball, but horrible at 'Mario Kart'

Maybe a round at 'NBA 2K' would have been better.

Just because Stephen Curry is good at playing basketball doesn't mean he's a natural when it comes to other competitive activities.

The Golden State Warriors point guard joined a Coral Sword Twitch stream over the weekend to play some Mario Kart 8, and it turns out that his ability to sink threes gives him no advantage whatsoever when it comes to kart racing games. Throughout the stream, Curry never took first place in any race and only placed higher than fifth a couple of times.

Here's a clip of Curry taking second place (as Yoshi in the bottom left) and popping off along with San Francisco Giants outfielder Hunter Pence, who took first.

Alternatively, here's Curry in his first race of the day (as Yoshi in the top left), hitting a spiny and then driving straight into a hole.

Luckily for Curry he still has a pretty strong career going for him in the NBA. The Golden State Warriors currently have the best record in the NBA and are likely on their way to another shot at the championship.
